Certification path
How GLI Certification Works
From initial submission to certified mark — the four stages every game studio and platform operator goes through.
Pre-Submission
Identify the applicable standard(s) for your product. Prepare test materials, technical documentation, and select the jurisdiction-specific version where required.
Submission
Submit your product to the GLI lab — either the Las Vegas, Melbourne, or Moncton facility — along with a completed submission form and test materials.
Testing
GLI engineers test your product against every requirement in the applicable standard. Deficiencies are reported and retesting occurs on remediated builds.
Certification
GLI issues the certified mark. The certificate is submitted to the regulator as evidence of compliance. The Change Management Program governs any subsequent updates.
Global acceptance
Which Regulators Accept GLI
GLI certification is accepted or referenced by regulators in over 100 jurisdictions worldwide. Jurisdiction-specific acceptance varies by standard — consult the relevant regulator's technical requirements.
